In this sermon, Brian Durham gives us a glimpse of the good life that the psalmist describes for us. He explains how the good life is attainable and how one can get there through a relationship with God by His word in which He has revealed Himself and His ways. The person who is on the path of the good life experiences joy, stability and fruitfulness though they may also go through difficult times as well. The psalmist describes that person as a "tree planted by streams of waters" that bears fruit in season and flourishes in life.

In this sermon, Pastor Robert Reid explains how God is steady and consistent in His character even through chaotic times. Therefore we can trust Him and ought to praise Him and rejoice in Him even when life is really difficult.

In this sermon Pastor Keith explains that the Lord deserves and demands the highest allegiance of His people, as their True King who has done great things for them, and is committed to their well-being for His name’s sake.

In this sermon, Pastor Keith explains how the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is a historical event that brings us God’s salvation, power, victory and hope in this life and beyond.

In this Pastor Keith explains that God desires His people to look to Him for leadership for the sake of their good and His glory. Rejecting God’s leadership by choosing substitutes leads to trouble. In chapter 8 we are back at the point of the cycle of where the Israelites turn from God. But this time it’s more subtle. It’s not by open rebellion that they turn away from God it is expressed through a permissible request for a king. Israel seemed to be minding their behavior on the surface and just simply making a reasonable request for progress in the leadership of their nation. They have already seen repeatedly what life is like with the void of godly leadership in the days of the Judges. The issue isn’t so much what they were asking (a king) but why they were asking for it, namely the rejection of God’s leadership in their lives. Here we have a pivotal point in Israel's history where they move from being a theocracy to a monarchy.

In this sermon Pastor Keith explains that God calls His people to return to him and rely on Him so that he might be glorified in fighting for them and delivering them. In 1 Samuel chapter 7 we see the Prophet Samuel call Israel to repentance and they respond by turning away from their false gods and turning to the Lord. Under the godly leadership of Samuel we see that he instructed Israel and he interceded for them. He also judged them bring them the leadership that they needed to uphold justice.
